downloading and using the Radio France app has been a game changer in how I see cultural public utilities. The fact that this app has news, podcasts, and even music into one app is absolutely insane. The best part is that itās free!

the FIP station lets you listen live to loads of different genres, with no ads and minimal radio host chat (and when it happens, itās all in French so it sounds cool anyway). Best way to get out of the music algo and find some new shit!

Yesterday, I showed my friend (also my roommate and colleague) what probably is my favourite film. Itās an old French film that was practically the blueprint for the lonely and stoic hit man trope.
It struck me how much he enjoyed it. I wondered why I hadnāt shared it with him earlier. Why are we so stingy to share what we love? Why do we delay the amazing bonding opportunities that beautiful art gives us. I donāt know, but Iāll be doing a lot more of this.

āHave you ever sat in a railway station and watched people killing time? Do they not sit a little like crestfallen angels?ā
- Henry Miller, Black Spring
Like many people here, I came to this site after deleting my social media profiles. One day, I had enough of the notifications, sensationalistic news posts, and all of the other mental intrusions with which we pay for our profiles. Ditto for dating apps, which I came to see as ecosystems fueled by people wearing each other down. The outcome wasnāt deeper connections, but increased frustration and jadedness and, in turn, a continued clientĆØle for these apps. Antisocial media is corny to use nowadays, but, for all intents and purposes, thatās the outcome.
Pretty soon, I felt the fear of missing out. Was I losing out on meeting people? What about what so-and-so was doing? I found myself feeling like I had time on my hands. I have a demanding job and plenty of side projects, but somehow the time I was carving away to doomscroll still felt like a loss to me.
I took the time I gained to get on top of my stuff. Iāve started finding moments of peace in running. My latest and most meaningful one was before my drawing class. I was at the office all day and didnāt realize how warm it was. I was 30 minutes early and I sat at a cafe in front of the art school. I spent 30 minutes reading Henry Miller while sipping on an espresso. Maybe boredom is not something we should take for granted. Maybe those moments of boredom are where we are closest to being divine.

I feel like this is a must for anyone that likes understated scents. The perfume is very floral with a smokey touch lingering about like an afterthought. I bought it to wear last summer but still havenāt finished the bottle! Itās unisex too, definitely smt to wear with your favourite spring trench coat
